As a result, almost a riot broke out among the military, and they began to gather from there," continued the statement. And it manifested itself very quickly.

Ukraine's nuclear energy company said that Russian forces have largely left the Chernobyl plant and suffered radiation poisoning.

Ukraine says all Russian forces have left Chernobyl power plant (Aljazeera.com)

Russian troops have left the nuclear facility, Ukraine's state nuclear company says, after weeks-long occupation.

There was no immediate comment from the Russian authorities, who have denied that its forces have put nuclear facilities in Ukraine at risk. A new round of talks aimed at stopping the fighting was scheduled for Friday. Energoatom said Russian soldiers got “significant doses” of radiation from digging trenches at the highly contaminated site. “The information is confirmed that the occupiers, who seized the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and other facilities in the exclusion zone, have set off in two columns towards the Ukrainian border with the Republic of Belarus,” it said in a statement. The UN nuclear watchdog, IAEA, also confirmed that it had been informed by Ukraine that Russian forces handed control of the power plant and “moved convoys of troops”. All the Russian troops that occupied the Chernobyl nuclear power station have now left the site, officials in Kyiv said, as heavy fighting continues to rage on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital and other fronts.
